# Nationalist Youth of Catalonia

Nationalist Youth of Catalonia (Joventut Nacionalista de Catalunya, JNC) is the youth organisation of Together for Catalonia, founded in 1980 as the youth group of Democratic Convergence of Catalonia (CDC). Alvaro Clapés-Saganyoles Baena is the general secretary since March 2021. It is a full member organization of the European Liberal Youth and the International Federation of Liberal Youth.
